Thanksgiving Holiday Safety Tips

The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day are among the busiest of the year. Families are planning trips to visit relatives, searching for thoughtful gifts, preparing special meals and many other tasks to make the holidays the most wonderful time of the year.

In the next few fast-paced weeks, it is easy to be so busy that we forget some safety basics. 

Have you ever gone to an event....where you are bringing a hot casserole or other yummy dish.  You keep it hot and place it on the floor and while driving you have to quickly stop!  Now that yummy dish is all over the floor or seat!  Well, that wasn’t in the plan!

• Make sure to properly place items (especially really hot foods) in the trunk of a vehicle to avoid potential injury and also distraction from the road.
• Remember, just one distracted moment can cause far greater harm than a ruined meal.
• Taking a moment to remember simple safety tips can help keep your holidays safe and your memories joyous and fun.

Seven Tips for Safe Holiday Travel from Safe Kids Worldwide and General Motors

• Remember to buckle up every ride, every time, whether it’s the long trip to visit family or around the block to the mall. 
• Shopping center parking lots are busier during the holidays. Watch out for distracted pedestrians and drivers who may not be paying attention to you, especially when backing out of parking spaces.
• For parents of teens, remind them to be extra alert during this holiday season, when conditions are more challenging even for experienced drivers.
• Commit to keeping your electronics out of your hand. No text message or playlist is worth the risk.
• If you are headed to a party and plan to drink alcohol, designate a driver or use a car service to make sure you get home safely.
• Expect the unexpected. You never know when you have to stop abruptly, so keep hot foods, large gifts and anything that can become a projectile in the trunk.
• Remember when traveling in large groups, all vehicle occupants need their own seat belt or car seat, even for short rides.
